The Ultimate Guide To Disney World For Adults
By AMANDA FINN
The After Hours events take place at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Typhoon Lagoon and each one has a unique element, like different character interactions, snacks, activities, and entertainment. Plus, these events are generally from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., so they’re largely attended by adults and wait times are drastically reduced.
Enjoy an After Hours Event
You don't have to drink eleven drinks (one from each of the eleven countries) around the world at EPCOT, but as an adult visitor, you totally could if you wanted to. Some of the best drink offerings include the Wild Strawberry frozen margarita at Choza de Margarita in Mexico, a Habibi Daiquiri at the Juice Bar in Morocco, and sake from the Kabuki Cafe in Japan.
Drink Around the World
Grand Floridian, the Dolphin Hotel, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Coronado Springs, Wilderness Lodge, and Disney's Yacht Club Resort all offer some kind of massage or spa services. What's great about each of these locations is that they are close to the parks and you can book a service even if you aren't staying at one of these locations.
Indulge in Some Spa Time
Buying souvenirs isn't a difficult task at Disney, but the trick knowing where to find truly unique ones. Get a personalized perfume bottle at the France pavilion in EPCOT, a profile cutout in Magic Kingdom or one-of-a-kind works of art in Disney Springs are among the dozens of incredible souvenirs you can take home.
One-of-a-Kind Souvenirs
The summer months, spring break, and the holiday season are the busiest times of the year. So it’s best to go in between mid-January and early to mid-February when the wait times for rides are lower and the weather isn’t scorching hot. (If you’re dying for Christmas decor the parks often leave the decorations up until mid-January.)
